Everything is shockingly silent.

Amid all the chaos surrounding you, you can't hear a thing.

Not after those last four words had slipped frantically from her mouth, like she was saying them to you for the last time.

*

Everything is painfully numb.

Amid all the chaos surrounding you, you can't feel a thing.

Not after her blood soaked hand slipped from your vise grip, and she fell into the darkness below.

*

You sit with your hand on your heart, as you try to memorize those four words she said to you.

Everything is blindingly white.

I love you, Kate!
